Description:
Show GMT time anywhere on your forum.
This is handy if you have members from all over the world (or in different timezones), and you sometimes schedule something they can see or do..
For example, in your news area under your forum-menu, or a sentence above the forum-time in the bottom of the pages.
What is GMT ?
GMT is the central earth time. Greenwich Mean Time (http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/)
It's the central timezone. Some countries have a timezone earlier or later.
Their time is for example 15:00 GMT+3 or 09:00 GMT-3 if the gmt-time was 12:00 :cool:
VB versions
I think the phrase-types didn't change much since 3.5.4, thus might be usuable on 3.5.4-3.6.3 versions.
Installation
add the new product: gmt.xml
If you don't like the way the time is displayed in my screenshot, edit the plugin: GMT time
For information on how to write time/date formats, see here (http://www.php.net/manual-lookup.php?function=date).
Go to the template u like to add the date in.
Could be Navigation breadcrump templates / navbar
Could be FORUMDISPLAY
Could be somewhere else...
Add this code in the area u whish: $vbphrase[gmt_phrase] $gmt
It's a small, but handy feature.
But I needed to learn how to make a product, to give something back to the comunity :)

Version 2
New version released on 30/5/2007
Since someone asked me to mention the day names in French, I added some language support.
This is how the language support works:
The script will check which language setting the visitor has. (language set in windows, or w/e OS the visitor has)
If it's Dutch, French or German, the script will use that language.
Else it will use the standard server setting, which probably is english.
